The Antarctic Treaty defines the Antarctic as all land south of 60 degrees South Latitude. Within a few degrees of 60 degrees south, you will find a degree of latitude that crosses part of the Continent.
For example, the Antarctic Circle 66° 33′ 39″ crosses several edges of the continent.
The equator (0° latitude) passes through northern South America and the Tropic of Capricorn (nominally 23.5° S) passes through the south central part of the continent.
Every latitude more south than about 62° South crosses some part of Antarctica,
and any latitude south of roughly 85.5° South lies completely on the Antarctic
continent. Any globe or projection on which they don't is inaccurate.
Since the south pole is on the antarctic continent, and all longitudes converge
in a single point at the south pole, alllongitudes go through Antarctica.

What major line of latitude goes through Ohio?
The major line of latitude that goes through Ohio is the 40th parallel north.
Which parallel is Antarctica?
You can find Antarctica between 60 degrees S and 90 degrees S.
What contine NT does the prime meridian pass through?
The Prime Meridian passes through Europe, Africa, and Antarctica. It specifically goes through the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Algeria, Mali, Burkina Faso, Togo, and Ghana in Africa.
What are the 3 continents the prime meridian go through?
Africa,Europe, and antarctica. The prime meridian goes straight like longitude. Europe is on top, Africa is in the middle, and anarctica is on the bottom. Hope this answers your question! And a Good Day to you! ======================== (Unless your map is printed, or your globe is mounted, with the north pole at the bottom. In that case, Antarctica is on top, Africa is in the middle, and Europe is near the bottom.)
The Greenwich Meridian of Longitude runs through which continents?
The Greenwich Meridian of Longitude runs through Europe, Africa, and Antarctica.
Where is the 69nth parallel?
There are two - the 69th Parallel North, which runs through Alaska, Canada, Greenland, and Russia, and the 69th Parallel South, which runs through Antarctica.
What major line of latitude goes through Ohio?

The prime meridian goes through which continents?
Europe, Africa, and Antarctica
The prime meridian goes through what continents?

How do you carve a cube to make a square pyramid?
Suppose the top face of the pyramid is ABCD with the square EFGH directly below it.Suppose AC and BD meet at P, the apex of the pyramid.Make a cut with a plane through P which is parallel to AB and goes through EF.Make a cut with a plane through P which is parallel to BC and goes through FG.Make a cut with a plane through P which is parallel to CD and goes through GH.Make a cut with a plane through P which is parallel to DA and goes through HE.The result will be the square-based pyramid PEFGH.
If a line goes through a set of parallel lines what is the line called?
a transversal
Which parallel of latitude goes through Florida?

Which parallel is Antarctica?
You can find Antarctica between 60 degrees S and 90 degrees S.
What is the equation to a line if it is parallel to Y2X -4 and goes through (15)?
If you mean: y = 2x-4 and (1, 5) then the parallel equation is y = 2x+3
